Study: Women unfriend more people than men on social media sites

Women are more likely to unfriend people and use privacy controls on social networking sites than men, according to a Pew Center study released Friday.

The study found 67 percent of women have deleted friends from their social networks, such as Facebook or Twitter, compared to 58 percent of men.

Young people are also more likely to delete friends than older people.

67 percent of women say they use the highest possible privacy settings, compared with only 48 percent of men.

While about half of social media users say they have some difficulty controlling their privacy settings, only 2 percent say it is "very difficult."

Men are twice as likely as women to say they have posted something online that they regret. Overall, 11 percent of users admitted they regret some of their posts.
